Instant

poem by: John Prophet
Written on May 23, 2025 

Instant.
Addicted.
Heads
bowed.
Psyche
engaged.
Enthralled.
Captured!
Can’t
look away!
Fast and
furious
interface.
How ya
gonna
keep them
down
on the
farm?
Heads
bowed
to the
new god.
Info
worship.
Ever
speeding.
Ever
expanding.
Eyes
fixed,
addicted.
Can’t
look away.
No going
back.
New
cathedral
technology.
Instant 
gratification.
Communication.
Full speed
ahead.
